Quote attributed to Sir Alex Fraser Tytler (1742-1813) Scottish jurist and historian.
"The average age of the world's great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence:
from bondage to spiritual faith;
from spiritual faith to great courage;
from courage to liberty;
from liberty to abundance;
from abundance to selfishness;
from selfishness to complacency;
from complacency to apathy;
from apathy to dependency;
from dependency back again to bondage.”

Somewhere between selfishness and apathy is my guess. God help us if we continue in this cycle you have quoted!

If we, as a nation, do not repent, fast, and pray, then this is what's NEXT on the agenda!...
